And indeed, nothing exists but praises Him with His name. Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. My beloved and zealous hereafter brother and my companion in the service of the Qur'an, Hulusi the second and Sabri the first; Masha'Allah, you have understood the value of the Twentieth Letter well and have written it beautifully. In your letter, you have expressed the desire to receive the course of Ilm-i Kelam from me. Indeed, you are already receiving that course. What you have written, in general, are the lessons of that luminous and true Ilm-i Kelam. Some sacred scholars, like Imam al-Rabbani, have said: In the last times, the Ilm-i Kelam, that is, the theological issues of the people of truth, will be presented by someone in such a way that it will cause the spread of those lights beyond the comprehension of the people of knowledge and the people of the path. Indeed, Imam al-Rabbani considered himself to be like that person. As for my humble and poor and rare brother, I cannot claim to be that future person in any way, for I have no qualifications in any aspect. However, I believe that I am a servant of that extraordinary figure who will prepare the ground for him and be a forerunner of that great commander. And it is from him that you have sensed that extraordinary scent in what has been written. Also, in your letter, you are asking about the mysteries of the verse "Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth." Yes, there are many streams and revelations from the great ocean of that verse in many Sayings. Especially in the Twentieth Letter, the Thirty-Third Letter, the Thirty-Second Saying, and the Twenty-Second Saying, there are some of its springs. Indeed, there are many layers in that verse. Each group has received their share from one of the layers. My soul desired to write some of the aspects of that verse; however, since it has been written in a scattered manner until now, it has remained so, and for now, it has been left at that. The Everlasting is the Everlasting. Your brother, Said • • •

That trouble turned into mercy for me. The heart came to say: "Although Nur disciples are working with full Nur lessons, both for their own benefit and at your expense, in every cell. But this fifth cell, because it is a kind of isolation room, is renewing and changing; it needs more Nur lessons. Also, the young and old people who read the articles of newspapers that write about the Russian's terrible denial and rejection of Allah, certainly have a very strong need for very firm and definite lessons about the existence of belief in Allah and the unity of the Divine." So the heart remained in praise. I repeated the sacred sentence, which I had recited ten times after the morning prayer since long ago, and which is the whole of the Twentieth Letter Treatise, eleven words in which both eleven proofs of the necessity of existence and the unity of the Divine, and eleven very bright and sun-like announcements are explained in detail, and in one narration carries the Great Name: "There is none worthy of worship except Allah alone, with no partner to Him. To Him belongs the kingdom and to Him is all praise. He gives life and causes death. And He is the Ever-Living, never dying. In His hand is all good, and He is Almighty over everything, and to Him is the return." I repeated it thoughtfully and was thinking together a short summary of the summaries of the Twentieth Letter. Suddenly the heart came to say: "Give this short summary as a lesson to Nadir Hoca and the young people here." So I said Bismillah and began. I said: "In this declaration of unity, there are eleven announcements and eleven proofs of faith. Now, I will only briefly mention the proofs and refer the explanation and announcements to the Twentieth Letter and the Nur remedies. However, I thought it appropriate to also write some words and points that I did not mention to them when I gave that lesson."

They have discovered and declared the mystery and wisdom of the activities in the universe, the enigma of the creation and the outcome of the universe, and the secret of the movements in the atoms; it is present, and can be observed. Both the secret of the oneness and the unique unity of the Lordship, and the infinite humility of the Divine and our infinite dimension, which is the amazing truth, as the Sixteenth Word and the Thirty-Second Word have clearly stated with perfect clarity, the power of the Divine is equal to the power of the atom and the moving stars, and in the great resurrection, the revival of all the living beings is as easy for that power as the revival of a single soul, and the idea that the unity of the universe is affected by polytheism is completely absurd and far from reason, as the Twentieth Letter with perfect clarity has revealed the verse "And He is over all things capable," 1 and its three allegorical explanations, have uncovered this great secret of unity. Also, in the truths of faith and the Qur'an, there is such an extent that even the greatest human intellect cannot fully grasp it, yet in a man like me, whose mind is confused, whose condition is chaotic, with no books to refer to, and who writes hurriedly and with difficulty, the majority of these truths appear in moments, which is directly the result of the spiritual power of the Qur'an of the Almighty, a trick of the Divine care, and a strong sign of the unseen. FOURTH SIGN The fifty to sixty commentaries have been written in such a style that not only for someone like me, who thinks little and is devoted to appearances and has no time for investigation, but even for a group of investigators composed of great intellects, their composition is not the result of effort and endeavor, but directly the work of divine care.

This is the letter of our sister in the hereafter and a student of the Risale-i Nur, Müzeyyene. Respected Teacher, my eyes, which are immersed in the sorrows of this fleeting world, when they are firmly attached to your luminous and eloquent words and your influential and healing treatises, and as I read them more and more, I cannot describe with any words how great a guide your treatises are. Yes, your words tear apart the curtains of darkness and ignorance that have descended upon this world and this time, shattering them and scattering that darkness and ignorance. What mind is there that, seeing the veil of truth and witnessing the light of truth shining upon it, would close its eyes to it and instead cling to the veil of darkness? I, too, hope by Allah not to fall into darkness. Now, having experienced hardship and thus become fortunate, I cannot fall back into misfortune. Teacher, unlike my other brothers, I am deprived of personally receiving lessons from you. However, once a week or once a month, I receive a spiritual lesson from your sublime words and listen to them with imagination, as if I were personally receiving lessons from you. All day long, I pray to Allah that the safety of the people of Islam and the transformation of this condition of mine from darkness to light may be granted, with you leading the way and us following behind. May Allah, with His grace, grant us good. My tongue, my weakness, and my shortcomings do not allow me to speak more. I confess my shortcomings to my Teacher. Insha'Allah, through the influence of your treatises, one day we will be able to escape from the situations we have unintentionally and unwillingly committed, just as the pious brother, Mustakim Lütfü Efendi, did, by following the guidance of your words. We received the seventeenth treatise, the eighteenth letter, the twentieth letter, and the precious treatises illuminated with the light of the thirty-three windows from our brother Zekai. We are studying them. The true Teacher, the Glorious Qur'an, is in our hands. Müzeyyene • • •

And shortly after that date, the most luminous parts of Risaletü'n-Nur, such as the treatise "Mu'cizat-ı Ahmediye (a.s.m.)" and the "Twentieth and Twenty-Fourth Letters," began to appear on the field of dissemination, and at the same time, the treatise "Mu'cizat-ı Kur'âniye," which proves the inimitability of the Qur'an in forty ways, and the two parts of the "Tenth Word" about the resurrection were published in "Forty Two (42)" and had extraordinary announcements in "Forty Six (46)." This is a strong indication that this verse has a special reference to it. Just as these verses point to the composition and dissemination, so too, the word تَنْزِيلُ الْكِتَابِ (the revelation of the Book) coincides with the name Risaletü'n-Nur (with the letter ن being doubled, there is a very slight difference) and metaphorically looks at it and accepts it. Because the word تَنْزِيلُ الْكِتَابِ (the revelation of the Book) is 951, and from the secret point of view of the three differences, it looks at the rank of Risaletü'n-Nur, which is 948. Suddenly, it occurred to me that the secret of these three differences is that the rank of Risaletü'n-Nur is third. That is, it is not a revelation and cannot be. Also, generally, it is not inspiration, but perhaps mostly the impressions and inspirations of the Qur'an that come to the heart through the grace and help of the Qur'an. It is remarkable that in the first حٰمۤ of Surah Al-Mu'min, the verse تَنْزِيلُ الْكِتَابِ مِنَ اللّٰهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَلِيمِ (the revelation of the Book from the Almighty, All-Knowing) has a cipher rank of 1370, which looks toward some important verses. Perhaps in fifteen to twenty years, another light of the Qur'an will appear, or perhaps the Resâili'n-Nur will have a special expansion and new revelations. Since I do not know, I cannot open that door. TWENTY-FIFTH VERSE: 2 حٰمۤ - تَنْزِيلٌ مِنَ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ (This is a sacred verse). The metaphorical meaning of this verse has a very strong connection with the Resâili'n-Nur. One aspect is that the work of Risaletü'n-Nur and his disciples is based on four principles.

And the inventory of the past spring, as if publishing the pages of their deeds and duties, is an example of the verse "And when the pages are spread out." Also, from the perspective of the assembled company, in every summer and every spring, a great world passes away and a fresh world comes into being. And that death and emergence occur so regularly, and in that death and emergence, so many different worlds pass away and emerge with great order and balance, that it seems the world is like a hotel where living beings become guests, and traveling worlds and wandering universes arrive, perform their duties, and then depart. Indeed, this world is such that these worlds of life and duty-bound beings are created with perfect knowledge and wisdom, balance, proportion, order, and organization, and are used and employed in divine purposes, heavenly goals, and compassionate services by a Zât-i Zülcelâl (a Being of majesty and grandeur) whose necessary existence, boundless power, and infinite wisdom are evident to minds like the sun. We leave the discussion of the matters of emergence to the Risale-i Nur and the books of the learned theologians. As for possibility, it too has enveloped and encompassed the universe. Because we see that everything, whether universal or particular, great or small, from the Throne to the worm, from the smallest particle to the wandering stars, every existing thing is sent into the world with a specific essence, a definite form, a distinguished personality, unique attributes, wise qualities, and beneficial structures.

Indeed, the fact that this specific entity and this nature are given that particularity among boundless possibilities; that among the number of forms and possibilities, they are clothed in that specific, intricate, and appropriate form; that among the number of similar beings and possibilities, this existing being is uniquely and specially assigned that worthy personality; that among the number of kinds and degrees of attributes and possibilities, those specific, suitable, and beneficial attributes are placed upon this formless and hesitant being; and that this creature, who is capable of wandering in countless ways and styles, and is capable of being found in countless possibilities and probabilities, is adorned and equipped with those wise and compassionate qualities and arrangements—this is certainly a sign and indication and testimony of the Necessary Being's necessity of existence, His boundless power, His infinite wisdom, the fact that nothing and no thing is hidden from Him, that nothing is difficult for Him, that the greatest thing is as easy for Him as the smallest, and that He can create a spring as easily as a tree and a tree as easily as a seed. These signs and indications and testimonies emerge from the realm of possibility and form one wing of the great testimony of the universe. Since the Risale-i Nur volumes, especially the Twenty-Second and Thirty-Second Words and the Twentieth and Thirty-Third Letters, fully prove and explain the testimony of the universe with both its wings and two truths, we have shortened this very long story by referring to them.

Salisen: If the grave door were to close and man were to remain in this world, then duties would be only military, administrative, and official. Since every day thirty thousand witnesses, with their funerals, sign the claim of death; certainly there are more important matters of faith than worldly duties. This is exactly what the Risale-i Nur performs, fulfilling these duties in accordance with the command of the Qur'an. Since the Risale-i Nur, which is the commander, ruler, and leader of the Qur'an, commands three hundred and fifty million people and every day five times, four of these times, opens their hands toward the Divine Threshold, and in all mosques, congregations, and prayers, it respectfully recites the sacred and heavenly decrees; certainly its true interpretation and the Risale-i Nur, which is a light of that sun and a servant of it, will fulfill its religious duty, by the permission of God, without encountering any obstacles. Therefore, the people of this world and the people of politics are not in conflict with it, but perhaps they are very much in need of benefiting from it. Yes, there are many parts of the Risale-i Nur, such as the Twenty-Ninth Word, which reveals the mystery of the universe's hidden power and the mystery of the origin and destination of beings; the Thirtieth Word, which reveals the mystery of the subtle thoughts; the Twenty-Fourth Letter, which reveals the strange and continuous activity and general decay in the universe; the Twentieth Letter, which reveals and explains the most profound and important mystery of unity and proves that the resurrection of a human being is as easy as reviving a single human fly; and the Twenty-Third Letter, known as the Book of Nature, which completely destroys and shatters the superstitious ideas of naturalists. Anyone who discovers the mystery in just one of these parts, whether an alim, a poet, or a professor, would certainly be rewarded and honored by any government, as one who carefully reads these writings can confirm.

But from that mistake and that painful condition, a door to truth was opened. And the soul was ready to fully accept that truth. Yes, just as iron is put into fire until it softens, so that a beautiful and useful shape can be given to it. Thus, that sorrowful and painful state became like fire, which softened my soul. The Qur'an, the miraculous Book of Revelation, fully showed and made me accept the truth of the mentioned verse, and the blessings of the truths of faith. Yes, praise be to Allah, the truth of this verse, through the blessing of faith, as we have conclusively proven in writings such as the Twentieth Letter, gave my soul and heart a point of support so strong that it can resist misfortunes far more terrible and harmful than that condition, a strength given through faith in Allah. And it indicated thus: "Everything is subject to the command of your Creator, the True Owner of this realm. The reins of everything are in His hands. Belonging to Him is sufficient." After recognizing and relying on that Creator, all things that took the form of enemies abandoned their enmity, and those sorrowful and weeping situations began to bring me joy. Moreover, as we have conclusively proven with irrefutable evidence in many writings, it gave me a point of support through the light of faith in the Hereafter, which is sufficient not only to resist small, temporary, and short-lived worldly attachments and desires, but perhaps even to satisfy my boundless longings for eternal happiness in the world of eternity, for all eternity. Because with a single act of mercy, the All-Compassionate, who in this world—this stage of a temporary inn—lavishes upon His guests, for just a few hours of joy at the spring table, countless and immeasurable, artistic and sweet blessings, like a breakfast, and after feeding them, in His eternal abode, fills eight eternal Paradises with countless blessings over an immeasurable time, and presents them to His servants—such a person, who relies on and belongs to the mercy of the Most Merciful, certainly finds a point of support so strong that even the lowest degree of it is sufficient with an immeasurable and eternal foundation.
